Salley, I have just discovered your web-site and have been awe-struck by the beauty and intricacy of your amazing work! I have been making and selling fabric pictures over the past couple of years and have always considered them time consuming but will think again after seeing your gorgeous works of art. Hope I can learn something from you. xx

Thanks for getting back to me Salley!
I just have to let you know, I took Felt Wee Folk with me to my adult daughter’s house today, to show it to her. She and her 14 yr old daughter loved looking through the book BUT my 7 yr old granddaughter was mesmerized by it!! Every single page, she excitedly said “Oh I want THIS one!” time and time again. . .
So guess what I’ll be making her for Christmas this year. . . some of your beautiful little dollies to love. &:o)

I’m so glad that you have discovered “Felt Wee Folk” and are immersed in the wee world. The best reason for working with wool felt as opposed to craft felt is that wool looks and behaves better and is much more satisfying to work with. After using wool felt, you can never go back.

Oooh I just thought of another question!
Is it ok to use craft felt instead of wool felt? If not, why?
(I tried finding wool felt last year when I was working on some felt projects of my own and the nearby fabric stores didn’t carry it. I live outside of Phila PA so I know if I travel in to the city I’d probably find some there.)
Thank you again! &:o)

Hello! Your work is amazing!! I found your “Felt Wee Folk” book last month at a Michael’s in Pennsylvania completely by mistake and HAD to buy it. I’ve never seen your art before, but it instantly captured my heart and my imagination. Absolutely beautiful and captivating!
Since this is all new to me, can I ask: Do you have a link anywhere where you show in detail how to wrap wire, and how you attach it? (especially to the edges of the fabric) I don’t think I see it covered in as much detail in the book I got, and that seems hard for me to understand right now. If you can direct me to a link or online instructions, I’d appreciate it.
Your art is gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing it!

I absolutely agree with all the other posts, your work is mesmerizing I could look at it for hours trying to figure out how you do it all and you are gracious enough to share! I could not get some of your books so I got board books! Not quite the same, but I love the pictures. Keep on doing the beautiful books and art work you deserve high praise indeed. Lynne Iberg

Welcome to my blog, Jackie. The Rabbitat film will have its premier at the Woods Hole Library on July 10th. After that I’ll put it on the blog or have a link to it.

I found this on Pinterest and its brought me here to your lovely blog. I read about the time lapse photography film and wonder where I can see it. I love your work.

Thanks for visiting. The answer to your question is both.
